Do All of the Free Servers Gown Down Every Hour?

[USAradio]

I know it's free but... ya know... every hour?

Every free service is down. This...... is not good.

Frustrating really.

I commented on your thread. What's that old saying? "If it's too good to be true it usually is."

Only unused streams should shut down every hour or two - if an active one goes down then it normally means that the server is being rebooted.

We do have to shut off unused streams due to the high load that they put on the server (we find that 100s of streams are online but not streaming within quite a short period of time as people tend not to stop them after use).
